Talking Heads @ Long Beach Arena, Long Beach CA, 1983-12-08

 

Here is another out of the Kat Georges cassette archive.  This time it's another of her masters.  A partial recording of Talking Heads live at Long Beach Arena in December of 1983.  Talking Heads were on tour supporting the album 'Speaking in Tounges' this year.   A few days after this show they played for 4 nights at the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood and filmed the 'Stop Making Sense' movie.

This partial set is a a preview of those shows with basically the same setlist.   Kat only captured the first 46 minutes of the show.  But that part is jam packed with some greatness.   Sound is pretty nice on this one.  Crowd a bit chatty but a fun listen.  Enjoy.
